HISTORICAL NOTE: during the C18 Foregate Street was known as
'the mall' and Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes, 'the
Foregate Street itself, by being well paved and sufficiently
broad to admit a full circulation of air seems to be generally
resorted to as a fashionable promenade.'
The Shire Hall, Statue of Queen Victoria, City Museum and
Library and Nos 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, nos 33-46
(consecutive) and No.49, Foregate Street (qqv) form a good
